As usual, when we hike in the Groot Winterhoek
Wilderness Area, we were the only people there. The only car parked. We did
meet a group of young people being trained to maintain the trails.

Our fynbos is threatened by global warming. Proteas,
ericas, bulbs and daisies. The plants could retreat up the mountain slopes, but
they are used to paddling their toes in the mountain streams. Those mountain
streams flow down to the Voelvlei Dam
and supply Cape Town with tap water. Or not! If global warming bites.
